LUBBICATING HECEANISI.

Application fled zul ia, 1m. semi-so. 122,237.

' It has for its object to ppovide an improved lubricating mechanism, and more particularly such a mechanism of the type wherein the supply of lubricant is derived from rotating mechanism, one element of which rotates in alubricant bath. A further object of nTy invention is to-provide an improved. mechanism of the .type described and claimed in my nc-pending applications Serial Nos. 7 (77,255, filed Apr. 17, 1924, and 725,521, filed July 11, 1924, wherein, through an improved construction and arrangement of parts and lubricating assages, an improved distribution and a 'arger sup ly of lubricant to the several bearings is e ected.

A still further objectof my invention is to provide an improved lubricating slip bearing having an improved arrangement of lubricant collecting and" distributing means thereon whereby lubricant may be collected from rotating parts and distributed in an improved manner. These and other objeets and advantages of my improved construe 'tion will, however, hereinafter more fully appear.

In the accompanying drawings I have shown for urposes-of illustration one embodiment w ich my invention'may assume in practice, illustrating the same in connection with a pump.

In these drawings,-

Fig. 3 isia central longitudinal section ,on

' which herein is of substantiall t e same line 3-.3 of Fig; 2;

Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section on line.

' a the member 8. Thus, it will be noted th l -40f Fig. 3; and

Fig. 5 is a transverse section on line of 4. p In this illustrative construct on, I have shown axduplex pump ofthe general type" described and claimed in my; above men-- 'tioned applications and equipped with generally similar-lubricating means, improved as hereinafter brought out. It comprises herein a large main gear 1 and anuppercooperating driving pinion -2 therefor,- both being carried on'su'itible shafts 3, 4 journaled'in a casing 5 having a lubricant reser voir 6 in its bottom, into which dips only the being shown.

main gear 1, suitable connecting rods 10,

connected to the latter, are caused to be antomatically lubricated when they are operated to reciprocate the pump crossheads, not shown, in a'usual manner while the crossheads are also automatically lubricated from the jack shaft bearings8 through reservoir means 11, all in the general manner described in my earlier applications.

In my improved ,construction it will be "noted that, while each bearing 7 is the same as in my previous cases, each jack shaft bearing 8 is im 'roved. Herein, each bearing 8 is provi ed on its top with an improved longitudinally extending slot or chamber 12 having upstanding walls, or ribs forming walls, extending to its inner. end. .This chamber also has an open inner end adjacent the pinion 2 and an oil hole 13 intermediate its ends, leading downward to the bore 14 of the bearing member in whip]! the jack shaft is carried. Moreover, it ,will a be noted that midway between the side walls of this chamber 12, and at one end ofthe 1 tends out beyond the ends of the walls of the chamber and into a relatively close fit with the adjacent side of the hub of the inion 2,

diameter as the inner end oft e body'of A since the member-'15 is disposed at the en" flowing'down from the pinion 2, whateverthedirection of rotation or the speed of thslatter, will engage this member 15 and be wiped off and deflected thereby longitudinally into the chamber 1 2-and its oil hole 13.- It will. also be noted that the chamber 12 of gthe hub and extends above it, lubrir herein has-a p 16 connecting it with a corresponding chamber 17 forming a continuationof the chamber 12 and likewise formed on of the bearingbut on the to an annular flange 18, and

lie

that this chamber 17 extends substantially to the outer end of the bearing and near that end has a similar oil hole 19 leading into the bore 14. Thus, it will be observed that lubricant collected from the pinion 2 will be delivered to both of the oil holes 13 and 19 so that a constant supply will be delivered to longitudinal lubricant grooves 20, 21 in the bore of the bearing 8. Attention is also directed to the fact that any excess lubricant traveling out along the end of the shaft will be collected in a suitable annular open ended chamber 22 at the outer end of the bore of the bearing 8 and delivered through a downwardly extending passage 23 therein to an annular space 24 between the flange 18 and a corresponding flange 25 on the outer end of the bearing and just inside the usual outer clamping flange 26 thereon, the passage 23 herein extending through the flange 25 as heretofore. Thus, lubricant may be su plied from the chambers 12 and 17 and rom this annular space 24 through a connecting passage means 27 to a corresponding annular space 28 on the bearing 7 and supply that bearing as described in my previous y mentioned applications, the excess also returning to the reservoir 6 through a lateral overflow 29, as therein set forth, and some also returning to the bath through the inner ends of the bearings.

Here attention is also directed to that fact that on the side of the bearing and in a plane below the chamber 12, and herein also, as preferably, approximately level with the bottom of the bore 14, I have provided an p underslung lip 30 forming a trough or chamber 31 extending below the bore and longitudinally from near the pinion 2 to the flange 18 and disposed within the outer diameter of the latter. It will also be noted that I have further cut away transversely, as by slotting, a communicating higher cutaway portion 32, so that an lnlet is provided leading from and above the chamber 31 directly to the shaft, this space also entirely surrounding the shaft and joining with the chamber 31 at its bottom, all as shown in Fig. 5. As illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4, the inner end of the bore 14 is also enlar ed at 33 at one side of this opening 32, the ength of the bearing surface being thereby reduced in such manner as to simplify and cheapen manufacture. Thus, the lubricant which in the normal operation of the device will be squeezed out between the teeth of the gears 1 and 2 is caught in the lip 30 and in the chambers 31, 32 and enabled to pass freely to the jack shaft and lubricate the latter as necessary, as it rotates, while that supplied from the troughs 12 and 17 also passes to the shaft; the shaft thus, in effect, rotating in a lubricant bath.

Moreover, it will be noted that at the outer end of the chamber 31 and adjacent the top plied to the latter to augment the flow to the caring 7 through the passage 27. At the opposite end of the chamber 30 I have also cut away the inner wall of the lip as shown at 35, to facilitate lubricant flow. It will further be observed that at the rear of the slot or space 32 I have also provided a passage 36 adapted to supply lubricant to the reservoir means 11, and from it to the rearward extensions thereof, indicated in Fig. 1, and therethrough to the crossheads in the manner heretofore described. It will further be evident that the excess lubricant not falling into the lip 30 and chamber 31 will be free to fall into longitudinal chambers or grooves 37 in the upper surface of the connecting rods 10 and thereby be supplied to the connecting rod bearings as previously described.

In the normal operation of my improved construction, the lubricant carried up by the gear 1, as it rotates in the oil bath 6, will be squeezed out between the teeth of that gear and the pinion 2. Hence, some will fall into the rough 31 and passage 32 in either direction of rotation of the gearing as described in my previous application. However, lubricant will also drain down from the upper teeth of the pinion'2 and the wiper 15 will act to wipe this lubricantfrom the pinion as the latter rotates in either direction, and thus divert additional lubricant into the chamber 12. Thus, two large supplies of lubricant are obtained, one squeezed from between the teeth of the gear 1 and pinion 2 and the other wiped from the pinion 2 and both serving both main and jack shaft bearings. From the first of these supplies, the lubricant is herein transmitted directly and in lar e volume to the jack shaft through the c amber 31 and passage 32 so that the the end of the shaft extending through the bearin 8 in effect rotates in a lubricant bath. lvforeover, some of this lubricant will find its way lengthwise of the shaft to the chamber 22 in the end of the jack shaft bearing member 8, and from that through the passage 23, into the annular chamber 24, through the frame passage 27, and to the annular chamber 28 surrounding and supplying lubricant to the bearing 7 of the main shaft. More lubricant is also delivered from this supply to the annular chamber 24-through the port 34 from the chamber 31, the sup ly through the passage 32 and the port 34 t us forming two outlets from the trough 31. The other supply. of lubricant to the bearings is delivered to the chamber 12 and from that to the jack shaft through the oil hole 13, the port 16 and the oil hole 19; the excess from this supply also finding its way to the portion 33 through the bearin bore and from the latter also to the main. s aft bearing'through the annular space 24, as previously described. At the same time, lubricant will be supplied from the chamber 32 through the passa e 36 to the reservoir 11 and the crosshea s, while the overflow from the trough will pass to the longitudinally grooved connecting rod 10-to lubricate the bearings of the latter.

Thus it will be observed that each of the bearings isflooded with lubricant, and that a plurality of supplies of lubricant are supplied to both the jack shaft bearing and the main shaft bearing, the several supplies serving to supplement one another or alone supply lubricant to the necessary parts should the other supply be rendered ineffective for any reason, aswhen through lack, of care or the use of an improper lubricant certain of the apertures are perthereof. -More particularly, the member 15' mitted to become clogged. Attention is also directed to the fact. that through theme of the member 15, a positive supplyof lubricant is rovided, .not only to the bearings of the jac shaft, but to the bearings of the main shaft, irrespective of thedirection of mm;

tion of the pump. or of the speed of operation wipes ofi' oilfrom the side of the pinion 2 V and diverts it to the lubrication of both bearings, irrespective of the direction of rotation of the pinion, the member 15 functioning ineither direction of rotation of the gearing to render an additional amount of lubricant available. Further, it also wipes off lubricant and diverts it for these same purposes'even when the pump is operated at extremely low speeds and when in one direc-' tion of s w speed rotation the supply to the trough 30 is reduced. Thus it will be noted what this member 15 with its connected mechanism serves to embody in the lubrirating system an additional positive feed which, while normally functionin with the other lubricating devices to supp ement the flow to the jackand main shaft bearings,

' is also capable of supplementing the flow despite change in the direction of rotation 01':

the speed of rotation, this sitive feed also being operative to Suppl 0th sets of hearings irrespective of w et er the supply from the other distributing means: may become reduced or even interrupted. Attention is also directed to the fact that this member 15 4 is so carried by the slip bearing 8 as to permit the withdrawal of the latter without the necessity of disconnecting the wiper. These and other advantages of my improved construction will however, be clearly apparent to those skilled in the art.

While I have in this application specifically described one form which my invention may assume in practice, it will be understood that the invention is not limited thereto .but

may be modified and embodied in various 0th r forms without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims.
